Bayonet reformer (SMR-b)

Hydrogen production with minimum hydrocarbon consumption

Low fuel consumption

Reduces the amount of burners

Our bayonet reformer SMR-b combines the novel properties of convection and radiant heat transfer in one steam reformer.

The development and introduction of the SMR-b is a result of Topsoe’s continuous striving towards more energy efficient ways of producing hydrogen by steam reforming of hydrocarbon feed stocks.

SMR-b consists of bayonet reformer tubes in a furnace box heated by radiant wall burners
SMR-b provides hydrogen production with minimum hydrocarbon consumption and low steam export
SMR-b is environmental friendly with low fuel consumption, low NOx and CO₂ emissions
Improved heat utilization in the SMR-b, significantly reduces the amount of burners, while maintaining the unique possibility of adjusting the tube temperature profile
SMR-b operates at high heat fluxes providing capital cost savings for medium to large hydrogen plants

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

As a direct replacement for conventional fuel, SAF is an easy decarbonization measure that will help the aviation industry decarbonize immediately.

Power-to-X

To lower emissions in energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation, we need technologies such as electrolysis in Power-to-X processes technology.

Renewable fuels

Renewable fuels will help us decarbonize heavy-duty transportation, and we’ll need proven technologies for their production. Luckily, these already exist.

Hydrogen

The abundance of hydrogen coupled with its potential for sustainable methods of production, positions it as a promising solution in the global energy transition. 

Ammonia

Ammonia is considered a gamechanger in decarbonizing the maritime industry and other energy-intensive industries where direct electrification is not an option.
